Why do we need icebreakers?

[dhol82]

Just asking. Did not know we lacked them.

1. Its for when we claim Greenland.

2. Oh, ok.

I thought he was going to go looking for the northwest passage.

[milestogo]

5. No, we're going to sell that area to Russia if we can get a good price.

[thought crime]

6. Yeah, hope Greenlanders have been watching Trumps negotiating style.

Surprised he didn't have a few B-2's buzz Greenland on their way back to the States.

3. They are good for when a group of strangers meet for the first time at a conference or meeting.

[surfered]

4. Don't need them now that the NW Passage has melted.

It’s possible we need them for the fight over the Arctic. Could be lots of oil there.

7. I know, was scratching my head over that one......icebreakers, right.

He’s such a dope. Ugh....total embarrassment.

8. To keep shipping lanes open on Lake Superior.

I see you caught Grandpa’s press conference. [Correcting from weird iPhone interpretation of what I was trying to say.]

9. Why doesn't he just make Canada take care of it?

10. It might be a shared responsibility, or the US opens up channels on the US side and Canada does the others. NT
